I love all things French. French food, decor and especially the style. These are a few of the many things that I love about French culture. French girl spring style revolves around well-tailored pieces that are classics.
The latest trends and over the top accessories are ones that women stay away from. They wear pieces that are versatile and can be worn over many seasons.
There is no better time of the year than the spring season to showcase Parisian style. The best part of these timeless pieces is that they will never go out of style. If you want to incorporate the latest trend, there are easy ways to add them to a classic look.
There are three key pieces that exemplify spring Parisian style: classic straight leg denim, trench coats, and a stripped top. Each of these staples can be worn separately or in combination to achieve maximum French style.
Scroll below to see how Parisian women style these key pieces.
French women like to wear jeans that are clean and classic. There are a few rules for choosing jeans – skinny jeans are not a favorite. A straight pair of jeans, whether they are white jeans or a classic wash, are the preferred pair of jeans.
Overly distressed jeans are looked down upon as messy.
Always choose an oversized blazer for an elevated look or simple white t-shirt for a casual daytime look. Finish off either look with the French spring favorite: a basket bag.
Is there a better coat for the transitional spring weather than a trench coat? It is a silhouette that needs neither introduction nor reinvention. Few pieces in fashion boast the influence or staying power, and this garment has been popular for several decades.
A traditional trench style is light enough for in-between seasons but sturdy enough to withstand chill.
During the spring months, a typical Parisian outfit consists of straight jeans and ballet flats. Finish off with a leather crossbody bag or straw bag for the warmer weather.
A striped sweater will always be a popular spring wardrobe item. The combination of cream and black have come to define the Parisian look.
It also has a low-key vibe, especially in an oversized silhouette. A collared striped sweater is polished when teamed with high-waisted jeans and chunky loafers.
